Big nepo baby entitlement there. Similar to RFK jr. "Do you know who I AM?"

But but without the white house press corps who would do Trump's big media stenography?

History suggests it's going to take mass acts of non-compliance, and there will likely be a violent response from the minority, which knows its position is insecure. It's going to be rough.

We are into a dictatorship now. We are being ruled by a minority, imposing unpopular positions. How are we going to get out of this?

Just got this down after 25 years in the attic. It still boots up!

Wrote my dissertation and my first book on this now useless object.

My specialty in history is the late 19th and early 20th century. But I’ve donated money to him twice and he’s lost both times, and Texas is more red than ever

I just brought four big boxes of books to the public library, for donation. Surprised emotionally difficult it is to let go of books

I kinda wish this guy would go away. He's demonstrated a knack for drawing a lot of donations and then losing

If you think "not being on Fresh Air this time" is the same as "being punched in the face," then yeah maybe

He's big mad because he didn't get the slot on Teri Gross that he thought he was entitled to. He was/is big in the lit world. His privilege was not respected. It's childish. It's Dershowitz-like

We don't have anything close to the capacity to build and maintain a nuclear reactor in the moon, much less to make use of it

But the broken NYT goes along with the admin's framing of extortion as just deal making.

The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral β€œdeals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.

The NYT would muddle right along being the mouthpiece of the regime, printing recipes, and fluffing the lifestyles of the uber-rich

It really is a basic tenet of conservatism that the things they fear are exactly the things they can't wait to do.

Somebody wrote that terrible incoherent slop, and somebody else published it. Meritocracy!

Or a logical conclusion is that diversity itself will be regarded as illegal
